Please place the information that the snap uses classic confinement in
to the details page. It needs to be clear to the user before they
install the snap.
"This revision of snap "foo" was published using classic confinement and thus
may perform arbitrary system changes outside of the security sandbox that snaps
are usually confined to, which may put your system at risk."
No requirement for a pop-up confirmation at this time.
